AMI targets computer enhanced multi-modal interaction in the context of
meetings. The project aims at substantially advancing the state-of-the-art,
within important underpinning technologies (such as human-human communication
modeling, speech recognition, computer vision, multimedia indexing and
retrieval). It will also produce tools for off-line and on-line browsing
of multi-modal meeting data, including meeting structure analysis and
summarizing functions. The project also makes recorded and annotated multimodal
meeting data widely available for the European research community, thereby
contributing to the research infrastructure in the field.
